Common Technical Problems before the Selection of Tilt Sensors

 

We often encounter some technical problems when choosing a tilt sensor, such as:

1. What is a sensor?

Sensors are devices used to measure various physical quantities, such as temperature measurement, pressure measurement, speed measurement, inclination measurement and so on.

2. What is inclination?

Inclination is the angle of inclination, is a special angle, generally speaking, is the angle between a measured plane and the horizontal plane.

3. What is an tilt sensor?

A tilt sensor is a sensor used to measure inclination.

4. What is a horizontal plane?

Roughly speaking, the plane formed after the water is completely relatively still, why add the word "relative"? Because no object is absolutely at rest, rest is relative. Relative to another object. There are infinite planes parallel to this plane. In fact, the definition of horizontal plane and plane are physical and mathematical concepts that help us understand the real world or find physical and mathematical laws as basic concepts.

5. What is the meaning of the output mode of the tilt sensor?

The output mode is divided into two aspects, one refers to the physical output mode, and the other is only the electrical output mode.

6. How many kinds of physical output modes are there for the tilt sensor?

Usually there is a cable output, connector output. Cable output depends on the length, color identification, connector output, pay attention to the number of cores, and pin definition.

7. What is the problem with cable output?

When purchasing products, if it is cable output, it is best to look at the manual, the manufacturer's standard output length is how much. Then according to their own application, installation requirements, determine their own cable length, if increased, will involve price changes, try to leave a little margin, in case the length is not enough. Sometimes the customer requirements are more special, the way of cable + connector, and the way of internal terminals are also uncommon.

8. What is the electrical output mode of the tilt sensor?

The electrical output mode is relative to the physical output mode, mainly refers to the electrical connection mode of the following bit machine, which is divided into many kinds, the largest is divided into two categories, that is, analog output and digital font output.

9. What is an analog output tilt sensor? 

Analog output means that the output signal is an analog signal, such as voltage output, current output.For example, Ericco’s ER-TS-3160VO is a voltage type output, its built-in (MEMS) solid pendulum measures the change of static gravity field, which is converted into the change of inclination, and the change is output through the voltage (0~10V, 0~5V optional).

10. What is digital output?

Digital output is relative to analog, there are many kinds of digital interfaces, such as RS232, TTL, RS485, CAN, PWM, and very rare RS422 interface, SII interface, and other master-slave communication methods.
